(a)Upon disposition of the resources, the net proceeds to the individual from the sale are considered available to repay that portion of the payments that would not have been made had the disposition occurred at the beginning of the period for which payment was made.
(b)The net proceeds from disposition will normally be the sales price less any encumbrance on the resource and the expenses of sale such as transfer taxes, fees, advertising costs, etc. where, however, a resource has been sold (or otherwise transferred) by an individual to a friend or relative for less than its current market value, the net proceeds will be the current market value less costs of sale and encumbrance.
(c)After deducting any amount necessary to raise the individual's (and spouse's, if any) resources to the applicable limits described in § 416.1205, as of the beginning of the disposition period, the balance of the net proceeds will be used to recover the payments made to the individual (and spouse, if any). Any remaining proceeds are considered liquid resources.
(d)The overpayment to be recovered is equal to the balance of the net proceeds (as described in paragraph
(c)of this section) or the total payments made to the individual (and spouse, if any) for the period of disposition, whichever is less. [40 FR 48915, Oct. 20, 1975, as amended at 50 FR 38982, Sept. 28, 1985]
